Description and Table of Contents
Description
As publishers continue to expand their electronic offerings - libraries need to deal with the opportunities and pitfalls electronic collections raise - accessibility, usability, content, and cost. Gregory has expanded and updated her classic manual for coping with these issues. Hailed as "invaluable" and "definitive" by reviewers, this how-to covers all the specifics of collection policies and processes; budgeting and acquisitions; evaluation and assessment; and preservation issues. Totally new sections explain digital rights management, new technologies, and new models and standards for organizing and accessing content. The included figures, forms, and worksheets give professionals the tools they need to prioritize and manage their work. This manual is essential for delivering the next wave of information to users.
